The film can be considered a "war film" in a broad sense. But in fact, this is not so much the reaction of the protagonists under the fire of the war, but the reaction of the characters after they leave the war. Strictly speaking, the film is a road movie, in the tradition of road films, it tells the journey of several protagonists from point A to point B, along the way they encounter difficulties, encounter "colorful" people, and I learned some things about myself. But the frame of the story is shaky and unwieldy, especially given the story director Neil Berger wants to tell, the events near the end of the film feel ridiculous, and the bland and unreal ending is the film's biggest flaw. Although Neil Berger's storyline isn't the strongest, his handling of the characters is effective. The three protagonists in the film are likable, trying to shape their egos as men and women with complex personalities—basically well-meaning flawed people. They also acted maturely, which went a long way to alleviating some of the issues with the film's tone and graphics

Although the plot is simple and clear, there are no surprises. The most valuable thing is that it is not boring at all. The screenwriter can be said to be well-intentioned. Soldiers are also ordinary people!.

[T.K. talks to Colee about being a leader]
T.K. Poole: If you wanna move up in the world, you gotta have skills. Basic skills.
Colee Dunn: Yeah? What are your skills?
T.K. Poole: Leadership. I'm a leader.
Colee Dunn: Me, too.
T.K. Poole: No, you're a private. That's the opposite of a leader.

[T.K. talks to his girlfriend on the phone and says to his girlfriend that he's traveling with two guys]
Colee Dunn: [as T.K. hangs up the phone Colee responds] Oh my, lord. You're one good liar. You know that? But, just so you know, that's not a good thing. That just makes you a big phony.
T.K. Poole: But most of what I said was true.
Colee Dunn: Except you forgot the part about the titty bars.
T.K. Poole: It's 'cause I'm not going to a titty bar.
Colee Dunn: It seems to me if you can't tell your soul mate the truth then maybe she's not really your soul mate.
T.K. Poole: I didn't say she was my soul mate.
Colee Dunn: If Randy lied to me... I'd take that guitar and I would bust it over his head and the damn lap dancers, too!
